Danah Boyd: my new dig.lit.techie hero
My recent trip to Nashville, TN to attend the NCTEAR 2007 conference opened up discussions with many people. While there, I talked with a woman from Columbia's Teacher's College. She recommended that I read some work by Danah Boyd, especially her pieces on blogging. Well, I landed on her blog tonight (via Angel Thomas's blog--link below) and have to say that I was amazed with all of the projects and work she is doing. It was good for me to see her blog. I don't know many other graduate students who are interested in dig lits so this site is a much needed portal to others' digital musings.
Although I can't say that I know much about her besides that she's a fan of Ani Difranco, I've listed her blog below and some of her work so that I can start reading.
